414 registered charities give a Windsor mailing address
There is no count for Walkerville on its own: the charities are those of all of Windsor. That is 1.5 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Ontario town and 1.4 across Canada. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.
32.1%
Across Ontario, 32.1% of people volunteered through an organization in 2023, a provincial estimate with a likely range of 31.0% to 33.2%; the lowest province sits at 25.2% and the highest at 40.3%.
